Trivia

Candace Glendenning

  • Resides in Britain where she is married and leads a private life in great anonymity.
  • Despite being an icon in British horror films, she really didn't appear in that many horror classics. Nor did she even make a film for the famous production company, Hammer Horror.
  • Director Norman J. Warren personally sought her out to play the leading role in his film Satan's Slave (1976). She was his first and only choice for the role having been a fan of hers and seeing her in such films as Tower of Evil (1972) and The Flesh and Blood Show (1972).
  • Lynne Frederick played her older sister in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), even though Candace was eleven months older than Frederick.
  • Despite being on screen for only ten minutes in the film Tower of Evil (1972), her image was heavily used in much of the productions promotional and marketing material. Most notably the posters and VHS covers.
  • Auditioned for the role of Clare of Assisi in the Franco Zeffirelli production of Brother Sun, Sister Moon (1972) but was rejected for being considered "too exotic looking".
  • Had her first onscreen kiss was with John Hamill in Tower of Evil (1972).
  • Sometimes mistaken for American actress Susan Dey.
  • Played the Grand Duchess Maria Romanov in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971). However, many contemporary historians and film critics believe that she bore more of a resemblance to Tatiana (who was played by Lynne Frederick) rather than Maria.
  • Toured Europe with the three actresses who played her sisters (Ania Marson, Lynne Frederick, and Fiona Fullerton) to help promote their film Nicholas and Alexandra (1971).
  • Her last on-screen appearance was a guest spot on the BBC television seasonal drama series Angels Episode #8.14 (1982) in 1982.
  • Auditioned for the part of Cinderella in The Slipper and the Rose: The Story of Cinderella (1976), but lost the part to Gemma Craven.
